I said it earlier in the thread but, Joint Base Elemendorf-Richardson here in Anchorage has 7 cases and almost immediately went into a near shut down (or Health Condition Charlie). Though that seems to have been done at the Base Commander level.

Have it on good authority that the email to Delta pilots regarding their impending furlough and/or layoff decisions was sent this morning.

What's wrong with saying a bunch of weak undesirables have to be removed from society to guarantee a healthy and robust economy for the rest of us? Is there, like, a bad precedent for that or something?

Re: Covfefe-19 - Part 4- Stay the **** Home

I really think the only thing that will scare them in to doing something is for Senators and Congressmen to start dying of this. For Trump, its Ivanka or himself getting it.

Just like when Giffords and Scalise were shot and Congress passed sweeping gun control measu-- oh.

Re: Covfefe-19 - Part 4- Stay the **** Home

We've been doing similar things for a couple weeks now. We were affirmed by seeing these stories on the news over the weekend.

My wife takes her temp daily. When she comes home from the hospital, I don't get to hug her. She comes in and immediately puts her clothes in a special hamper in the entry way. We bring them down to the basement and launder them. She takes a shower, her second of the day wreaking havoc on her skin and hair. While she's showering, I put her lunch and dinner dishes into the dishwasher. I clean and sanitize her keys, badge, anything else she touched, and all of the doorknobs. I change my outer layer of clothes and wash my hands and arms thoroughly. When she's dried off, we finally get to hug, carefully. We don't get to kiss because who knows if she's asymptomatic at the moment*.

We've already prepared a separate living space downstairs. If one of us gets it, I move down there, and we institute special procedures desperately hoping the other hasn't already caught it. We've got the best furnace filters 3M makes, but we'd also add a second layer to the vents and returns in the rooms. I've got a couple sets of clothing that would last me a few days down there while we discuss our next steps. We have plans for how we'd do laundry and cook meals. I have a secondary home office setup in a spare bedroom down there that would work in a pinch if we need to isolate immediately.

In a perfect world, I'd turn the "sick" room into a negative pressure space with a fan, but that probably a step too far.


*This is really hard as newlyweds. We already cancelled our honeymoon, probably never get to take it. We both want kids but we obviously can't start now. We're in our 30s, so it's already kind of dicey. I'm holding out hope we get through this in less than 18 months, but slowly preparing myself for a reality where we can't. I've delicately asked her if we want to start sleeping in separate spaces until this calms down, but how do you insist on that? It's heartbreaking to have to even contemplate that. To go from vowing to be partners for life to isolation is not something humans were really designed to do easily.

This is sad! But it sounds like you are doing a great job of protecting yourselves. Stay positive! You will get to take that honeymoon. Maybe not for awhile ...

Thanks! Holding out hope we can still make it up to the UP in July.

So, a $4.5B cruise ship with even tighter quarters for 50% more people, machines of war, and a nuclear reactor. Awesome!

Don't know what I would have done if I still had the business. It would be declared essential. But all that equipment being touched. All that face to face contact. Send the sales, production, receptionist home, some of the billing. But traffic and control room would still need to function. And without sales no income to pay people not working. I am glad not to be in that situation.

I feel for business owners - big or small - tough choices to be made.

A chloroquine update : the Arizona man who died and his wife that is in critical condition, self medicated with chloroquine phosphate, using aquarium cleaning chemicals. Doh! It works, in some cases at least, but under medical supervision.
